Hi all,

I have an Indian Enfield Diesel I imported from India to the UK. I am trying to get her on the road and MOTd etc so I can use her here.

I have a problem with getting the front wheel spacers bearings etc to space correctly so that the front wheel doesn't lock up. I have all new components but it still will not play ball. If anyone lives nearish with rebuild experience, id appreciate some advice/help.

Thaks chaps,

Steve

Burton Bike Bits closed his shop quite a few years ago & moved out to set up a mail order only business.

Thanks chaps. pd110961 where are you in Notts? I could easily bring the wheel and bearing, spacers etc over to you if you are not too far away. Otherwise I was going to take it to Hitchcocks, but then id no doubt end up buying a new wheel lol
